I posted about this in the media thread....that cross is an ABOMINATION (capital letters required to emphasise how bad it is). $100..... On that same e-mail....can you imagine asking for a GNR jigsaw and then opening the wrapping in Xmas morning to find you have not got the original AFD cover one but the Spaghetti Incident...🤣🤣🤣 Everything about it is bad, but it almost perfectly encapsulates the current state of GNR. Zero effort, maximum price, laughably bad product. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Get ready to have a Merry F'N Xmas, FAM! For only $100 plus tax and shipping, this glass ornament that looks like it was made by a small malnourished Asian child could be yours! Get it while it lasts! The same one was available last year, and it "allegedly" sold out. As far as the other holiday items revealed today, there's not a single thing that interests me. Both the sweaters look wretched. They should have made last year's sweater available again, it actually looked great. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just surprised they brought this monstrosity back Quote Link to post Share on other sites

soon 8,141 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 In the same way that Guns was the "antithesis" of the Hollywood scene when they came out, Guns is is now the epitome of late capitalism. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GNRfanJen 1,062 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 What I'm curious about since these holiday items are now up for sale, is if/when we're getting that announcement of the NITL blu-ray/pro-shot that Fernando said was supposedly coming out this year. Now, I'm not naive enough believe that's actually happening, but let's just say it is. If we do actually get it this year, I would assume they'd have to come out and announce it soon, no? To make the Christmas deadline and all since that'll be here before we know it. But again, it wouldn't shock me in the slightest if that was canned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think it would be possible now to be honest, time scale wise, to get something physical announced, advertised, manufactured and distributed before Christmas. If it was happening I'm sure we'd have heard about it by now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sydney Fan 1,966 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) Could you imagine going back in time, to say 87 and say to axl, in 23 years time you will have a 100.00 appetite cross as an ornament to put on your xmas tree?. It beggers beleif that you cannot buy physical music or downloads apart from the greatest hits via their store, when most big bands have this.

James Bond 5,249 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 As if Fernando was ever going to deliver us a Blu-ray this year. 12 year old Twitch streamers deliver content more frequently and debatably know their fanbase better too. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

k12 218 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 anyone buy the 7 Lith set? I just picked it up cuz of the 20% discount, I am surprised to see it as long as I have because it is only a 150 limited run though the Lithographs are not that appealing and the $175 normal price is less appealing , still I feel I must have seen them selling them on the website for about 2 years 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IMO, very nice packaging, and the prints are nice too. Yeah, the price can always be better, not sure how that's determined or who makes the determination. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MaskingApathy 2,390 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 GnR store has a bunch of stuff on clearance, including tour merch from 2019 and 2020. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nycgunner 286 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Some of the merch is terrible, but I was glad to see some of the 2019 tour merch. I picked up the hoodie at a good price. Who knows what happens with concerts post COVID vaccine, but 2019 was the last great year of concerts before all of our lives were changed by the pandemic Glad to have another memento from two good shows 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sisyphus 294 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Who's buying this shit? I must admit though that after 20+ years of following GN'R my mindset is a lot different than it used to. If this was 1999 I'd be one of the suckers buying some of this useless shit. What I could afford anyway. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Len Cnut 14,952 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Trying to think what I've ever bought Merchandise-wise with Guns. An Use Your Illusion I shirt from the market when I was 13. Used to have the Charlie Don't Surf shirt but thats not exactly official shit. What else? Struggling to think of anything. Oh, yeah, I had a Slash shirt, a big fuckin' picture of his face, again not official merchandise, a big picture of his face with a fag on, something like: 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I always liked the Uzi Suicide shirt they were selling on the European leg of NITL tour, but as a fellow Aussie, never had an opportunity to get a hold of one. Ended up buying a bootleg online, lol.
